Age of Wonders is an epic turn-based fantasy strategy series, where players take the role of an aspiring Wizard-King. So what does it take to be wizard or sorceress in Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic?
As with any game involving swords and sorcery, you define your character. But in Age of Wonders you are no lowly dungeon crawler battling rats and snakes, but instead a person of great power and stature! First select your area of magical research; become a specialist in one of the 6 fundamental spheres of magic, or go for a multi-classed career. Select traits that define your empire; do you have a history as a warlord, a merchant, or a tree hugging peacekeeper? Finally you choose to befriend one of 15 distinct and amazing races such as Elves, Frostlings, Draconians, Dwarves, Halflings, Humans, or even the Undead as your starting race. The others can be coaxed or forced into becoming your subjects later! You begin by sending out scouts to explore the surroundings of your starting town, while you oversee its expansion, and delve into your tome of magic to research new spells that can be used to help your people and inflict great pain upon your enemies. |
